My partner and I really enjoyed our stay here. The location couldn't be better. The room was warm, inviting, and clean. The hotel staff was friendly and very helpful. English is not really spoken by the cafe staff, and so ordering and paying for things was sometimes a challenge. We received things we didn't order, and overpaid for other things because it was too difficult to explain. But really, this isn't even a complaint, as it isn't fair of me to expect anyone and everyone to speak English. Yes, as others have mentioned, the Monks' bell rings at 4 in the morning. This is not a problem if you just let it be part of the total experience. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
